100% PERFECT FIT:

MEASURE A BELT YOU ARE CURRENTLY WEARING

This is super easy to do, only takes a few minutes, and virtually guarantees a perfect fit. Just follow the below instructions and make sure the belt you measure fits you well the way you will be using it with any gear attached.

Lay out your belt on a smooth flat surface. It is probably slightly curved but don't worry about that. Just measure through the curve.

Place a tape measure where the buckle meets the leather (do not include buckle length in measurement) and measure, in inches, to the hole you currently use to buckle your belt:

Scroll down to the description on the page and click on the tab that says "AdditionalSizing Help" (on mobile phones scroll down under the description, and you will see thetab)

Now scroll down to the belt sizing chart and match the measurement you got above with the number in the "Measurement to the 4th Hole" column in the chart.

If you are between measurements, size up one unless you plan on losing weight in which case you should size down one.

For example, if you measured 37" to the hole you currently use you should purchase a 38" belt size. If you measured 38" you should purchase a 40" belt size.

Note that our belts are made by hand and variances in measurements can occur. Variances are slight, though, and will not affect the sizing.

That's it! Select your size, double check it is correct on the add to cart button, and add to cart.

And just to be safe, Hanks Belts offers free exchanges if needed, so you never have to worry about additional cost if you do order an incorrect size.
